In 2005, the Belgian dance group DHT covered the song for release as an international club hit. In 2020, ABC released a version of the Bachelor in Paradise that was titled, Listen to Your Heart. Although these art forms are talking about love and relationships, it is very good advice for our overall heart health as well!
